En savoir plus sur le livre

Challenging the reduction of human motivation to mere self-interest, this book delves into the complexity of our moral constitution. It critiques simplistic views like the 'selfish gene' concept from neo-Darwinian thought, arguing that while these perspectives can provide insights, they ultimately fail to capture the full spectrum of human motives. The exploration invites readers to reconsider the intricacies of human nature beyond one-dimensional interpretations.
